Non-Modifiable C-V Risk Factors

• Physical Activity or Exercise Level

• Tobacco• Obesity

• Cholesterol/Blood Profile

• Blood Pressure• Stress

Modifiable C-V Risk Factors

Surgeon General- Physical Activity Focus• 25% Couch Potatoes• 40% Active • 60% Not active

ACSM- Exercise or Physical Fitness Focus• 15% Active • 85% Need Improvement

* Steven Blair- All adults need to accumulate 30 minutes of walking (3 X 10 mins)

Physical Activity or Exercise Level

Total Blood Cholesterol (TBC)< 200 Low risk butttt… - 200-239 mg/dl Moderate

>240 High riskTriglycerides- circulating fat <100-150 mg/dl• HDL - > 40-60 mg/dl LDL - < 100 mg/dl (recent attention/focus)“Ratio”- Total Cholesterol/HDL < 4.5

* PSU Health Services- $14.00 for screening *

Personal Blood Profile

“Silent Killer”

• Systolic = top #

• Diastolic = lower #

• Normal or Healthy “120-80” mmHg

- Desirable is b/t 100-120/60-80

- Younger healthy 110/70 is preferable

• High is any # greater than 140/90 and puts you at greater risk for stroke and heart disease

HYPERTENSION- HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

• Cigarette Smoking

• Total Blood Cholesterol (TBC)

• Blood Pressure (BP)

• Physical Activity Level

• Excess Body Weight or use BMI
